After spending their first night in the disaster area safely with the mysterious girl who called herself "White Night" under that tree, when it got dark, the two started heading towards the old London again.
So it was another whole cycle of day and night. It was somewhat difficult to move forward on just two legs.
To be honest, John feels that he should be considered one of the stronger ones among today's wizards - he has loved traveling around since he was a child. After graduating from school and before starting work, he visited many countries alone; and even though During the years of working in the workshop, due to his personality and ability, he often took on missions abroad.
However, this time, as he was approaching forty, he finally felt the ruthless passage of time on the mysterious girl in front of him... To put it simply, he was tired.
"No, isn't it a common thing to feel tired after traveling for a long time? The problem is definitely not with him, but with the girl in front of him!"
John gasped secretly while looking at the seemingly petite back in front of him and the other person's calm pace that had not changed at all. He frowned slightly - during this day and night of rushing, he was still able to rely on himself. The dry food I carried with me relieved my hunger several times and replenished the energy consumed by my body. But what about her? In the past two days, John seemed to have never seen the other party eating in any way. He only drank a few handfuls of clear river water when passing by the river.
Not to mention John's doubts about whether the river in the disaster area was clean. Under such intense day and night travel, could he easily survive with just a few sips of water? Not to mention, the girl's figure and steps were obviously more brisk and natural than John's, as if she didn't feel tired at all.
This is not normal, this is definitely not normal!
Looking at the back of the girl who looked increasingly mysterious and suspicious for various reasons, John felt even more unsure. He didn't know whether it was a proper choice to follow him to Old London.
However, after all, I have followed this girl all the way here, and to suddenly give up at this time feels like giving up halfway. In any case, going to London was originally his... or one of the destinations planned for their workshop.
Of course, the most important thing is that for some reason, the journey with this mysterious girl seems to be particularly peaceful. If it were him who had left alone, he really wouldn't have much confidence that he would be able to walk to London safely.
No, it should be said that without her, I would have died in the ruins long ago, right? Even if you are not torn apart by those particularly powerful enemies, sooner or later you will end up hiding in a corner while slowly waiting to die.

Therefore, even if there were still many doubtful factors shaking John's heart, he still chose to continue to follow the other party in the end.
Until the next morning, as the whole world was once again filled with the gloomy light, the darkness of the night gradually faded away, and John, who was already exhausted, finally saw a scene that might be unforgettable for him for the rest of his life.
It was a "Pillar of Babel" that went straight up into the sky. Probably because night fell last night and the night had covered the distant appearance, it was not until this morning that John would see that strange pillar on the horizon. scene.
John was really not sure what it was, and because of the distance, it was difficult for him to estimate the true size of the Optimus Prime at this time. All he knew was that there had certainly never been anything like it in Britain in the past.
"what is that?"
Because of surprise and confusion, John asked subconsciously, with a little hesitation in his words.
And what was rare was that the girl who had not spoken to each other a few times along the way spoke again this time and gave John her answer:
"That's 'London'! It's where we live now... That's where I want to take you."
Somewhat surprisingly, the girl who had always spoken plainly before had a hint of excitement in her tone this time. She seemed to be very happy about rushing back to London.
But…
"... That's London?" John said in a daze, then blinked again, nodded and said, "Well, calculating the position, that direction is indeed London... But, why? What is that 'pillar'? ?”
"That's 'ice'. It's the mark left by the 'master' who froze the city when he fought on a rainy day."
Just because he had had the opportunity to ask some questions a few times before and got a lot of vague answers from this girl, John actually didn't have much expectations for the other party's answers. But this time, when the other party mentioned the word "master" for the first time, John couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat for some reason.
"'Owner'?"
While John was in a trance, he was about to ask her about the origins of this title. But soon, he finally realized what the other party had just said...
"Wait, you mean... someone fought and used magic to 'freeze' the entire city?"
"It's not 'someone', it's the owner."
As if to emphatically correct this sentence, the girl stopped and turned around. The words that came out from the shadow under her hood even contained a kind of heartfelt reverence.
But at this time, John no longer had the energy to think about these details. His entire mind was occupied by the shock brought by the icicle reaching the sky in the distance.
Yes, if there were pillars as thick as a city, then this scene would make more sense - even at such a long distance, the icicles were still looming and visible to the naked eye. You know, in fact there is still a long way to go from here to London!
After a moment of silence, John slowly digested the shock in his heart in silence. After a moment of silence, he returned his thoughts to the problem he had noticed before.
"So, miss, who is your 'master'...?" He asked, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and hesitated again, "Could it be... that 'Helbo' … Sir?”
When he asked the latter sentence, John was already mentally prepared for what he would have to face next - to be honest, their team was originally prepared to one day come into contact with the "despicable" ancient dark wizard. "Herbo".
However, when he suddenly realized that he might meet the other party soon, John felt a tingling sensation.
Especially... after seeing the shocking scene in the distance with my own eyes.
